It is believed that the Capital Improvement Report as submitted reflects
a realistic approach to the many problems that face Boise City today, A pay-as-
you-go policy to achieve certa~n goals is by far better than trying to ac-complish
many apparently needed improvements by means beyond the local abil-ity
to pay. The recommended indebtedness is within th~ local ability to pay
and will achieve those projects which would not otherwis~ be undertaken.
The only justification for increased property taxes is to provide improv-ed
services to the citiaens of Boise City thro·Utgh yearly ~oordination and up-dating
of this Capital Improvem~nts Program. lt is with this goal in mind
that the Planning-Zoning Commission recommends this 1969-74 Capital Improve-ment
Program and Budget.

650 allocated for each year. Land acquisition amo••Jntn\g f.c ;2)0,000 fer addi­tional
